AT THE EXPOSITION.
The Exhibit of the United Statss
Patent Office.

ment that is almost entirely neglected
is that from the United States patent
Office. UNFORTUNATELY when the ante
room, where the main government eX-
hibit is, was being filled up with the
eases, it was found entirely inadequate
to hold the full exhibit, consequently
the United States patent Office cases
had to be given space elsewhere, and
isolated from the principal exhibit it
has been somewhat neglected. This
exhibit was sent down to New Orleans
and other points, and wherever shown
has attracted all the attention it SO
richly deserves, for no lecture, no book,
no lesson, could teach better than this
method the progress of the world, in
the grand fields of art and science,
adapting itself to this utilitarian age.
1t is noticed the majority of people
shun this fine exhibit as they would a
patent medicine dodger, and, indeed,
act as if they thought these interesting
drawings that comprise the show were
advertising fakes. 1t is therefore no
harm to suggest that some sign be
posted in the vicinity that people may
know the value of this collection which
most of them miss seeing at all. The
exhibit will be found on the second
floor in the northeast direction. 1t
comprises about 120 framed eases, hung
on racks, with passage ways between,
and each frame contains on an average
five to eight pictures. Every conceiv-
able subject is therein described from
the progression in bridge building from
the time of the very ancients, to the
latest snow pillow gotten up by some
western enthusiast. The engineer can
therein read the history of the locomO-
tive, concisely placed before him in the
most lucid manner, by illustration.
The farmer car find how his ancestors
did their threshing back to the earliest
time, and he can gain ideas for
new impro vementS if he will only
study out the plates where step by step
the modern revolutions in this machine
are clearly shown. The lady interested
in her household, can see the tale of one
of her most useful articles, the sewing
machine. all clearly explained and
every man, woman or child, sailor or
soldier, parson or layman, rich man or
est and instruct in this exhibit, but
without doubt notice should be put up
as to the value of this part of the Expo
sition and it is hoped this article may
draw attention to the Importance of it,
and people will in consequence thrOng
through it till the Exposition closes. 1t
will be greatly to their e%ditication if
they do so.
The Scandinavian school of art, of
Minneapolis, attended yesterday after
noOn, and will do so again to-
day. and give informal lectures on
the art gallery of their nationality
The attendance was first rate all day
yesterday and very satisfactory to the
management. Of course this scheme of
having the members of the art school
attracts numbers to the gallery and had
that department consequently crowded
all day.
A GRAND CONCERT. s
The programme arranged by Liber-
ati'S band for to-night's concert is sure
to attract the large and growing class in
the two cities who are qualified to appre-
ciate genuine classical music.
Tonight Liberati will accede to the
request of a large number of people
who know what classical music is. and
give that class a treat. The concert in
the evening will comprise some of the
most difficult of scientific music. In the
selections there will be two numbers
from Wagner, viz: March from Taun-
hauser" and ''Fantaisie from Lohen-
grim" II from Haydn, can

popularity called the wonderful aria
from the "Pieta Signore'' of a Stradella
entitled 30 Lord have Mercy will be
the solo number of Liberati which the
trombone solo by Herr Ewald StotZ
will be the grand concerto by Fred
David written expressly for the instru-
ment. This concert deserves special
mention, as its like has never been heard
of in the northwest.

to make Oct. 18th Liberati day in recog-
milton of this Incompatible master of
the beautiful science.
